Tony Parker sent a number of flirtatious text messages to model Sophia Egeler, it has been claimed.

The NBA star - who has reportedly counterfiled for divorce against wife Eva Longoria - is even said to have sent Egeler a half-naked photo of himself.

According to The Sun, Parker met the British model at an Ultimate Fighter show in London and began his relentless pursuit on the same night.

Egeler said: "From the minute he met me he was trying it on. I had no idea he was Eva Longoria's husband. He would not take no for an answer and was telling me how much he liked me."

Describing what happened when she and Parker carried on to a nightclub with two of his friends - one of whom was Arsenal defender Bacary Sagna - Egeler stated: "I decided at 1am I wanted to leave but Parker followed me into the street. He begged me to come back to a house he claimed was his. I said no."

In the days that followed, Parker apparently went on to send Egeler a topless photo, asking: "You want a sexier one still?"

He then allegedly promised to visit the 19-year-old model in Brighton and even sent a text message telling her that he was there.

Parker's advances are believed to have stopped when Longoria filed for divorce on Tuesday. It has since been reported that the Desperate Housewives star made the decision after finding hundreds of texts on his phone to Erin Barry, the wife of a former teammate.

Egeler added: "When I heard I couldn't believe it. How stupid is he to risk everything with her?"
